Re: Tepper 2012 - Calling All Applicants [#permalink] New post   03 Oct 2011, 01:00
Hey,

I am considering applying to Tepper for R2. Does anyone know whether a campus visit raises the admission chances or is it irrelevant at Tepper? Also, I'd love to hear from current students about the best/worst things at Tepper. I am considering flying over (I live in the Czech republic) for a couple campus visits (Tepper, Cornell, Wharton, Kellogg - visited Columbia and NYU last year) and am trying to figure out whether the time is better invested in a campus visit or studying for GMAT / essay drafting...

Thanks!

Ondrej

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Could you please comment on the community and student life at Tepper in general (collaboration, partying etc.)? Also, what is Pittsburgh like? It is one of the cities I haven't visited in the USA yet so that'd be a big unkown for me, too... :)

How do Tepper graduates typically place into General Management positions?
By GM, I mean rotational and/or leadership development programs.
I see from the employment report that a large share of the students take jobs in the Manufacturing industry, but the information is a little vague with regard to job functions. Are these P&L track jobs, program manager jobs, etc.

Thanks!!


There are quite a few companies which recruit Tepper students for Leadership rotation programs. Some of my classmates went to GE,Liberty Mutual etc to name a few. AFAIK, you don't get P/L responsibility right out of the school.

:D


Just a little update on the fence. The college of Fine Arts students are building some sort of wooden structure for the fence. If you see students doing wood work around the fence,it is probably them. It is part of their curriculum project.

Do re-applicants need to fill out a different application form? I read the instructions, and it states that re-applicants dont need to fill out another application form. Also, that re-appplicants need to send new essays and other documents. My concern is who should these documents be sent to? What about the extra recommendation, should my recommender email it to the Admissions?

If anybody has any idea over re-application to Tepper, please share.

What is AFAIK? By the way, thanks for responding. I was able to get an answer from Tepper Admissions.

Keep your head up. Its not over yet, plus its round 1. If you hate your essays you always can push it to round 2. Be confident and believe in what you say though! We are all going through last minute panics (i know I am)!
